I heard this project was in the works and am glad it turned out well.<br />@Nicki- yes, I really want to try their meatballs too, next time I guess.

We have a theme of brushed nickel in our home (or at least we are moving in this direction). The fan in our master bedroom is quite nice/newish, but had a brass/gold look to it and didn't quite fit our theme. So, instead of buying a new fan, which was tempting since they are only about a $100, my wife bought a can of brushed nickel spray paint for $6.00. I took the fan apart and taped parts that I didn't want to have painted and put a couple of coats on and it looks like new. No one will ever know that we painted it and we saved about $90.00. It felt really good to "fix" it rather than dump it. Yay for thriftiness!Joshnoreply@blogger.com
